Photo: Ansel Adams: A Biography by Mary Street Alinder
If you’ve got some time and want to skim through a good book but can’t get to the book store check out Google Books. Google Books has a bunch of books on Ansel Adams with all but a few chapters of the books missing (limited preview). If you love Ansel Adams work this is a great way to find out more about the man behind the photos. Did you know he survived the 1906 earthquake or that he would spend hours holed up in his dark room reading and writing letters?
If you enjoy the book you really should go out and buy the whole thing in dead tree or digital form.
